Spring morning

Just up the street, there's a place where some hillside work was recently done this fall, to correct a drainage problem. After it was completed, they sowed the hillside with annual wildflower seeds to hold the soil.

Baby blue eyes, or Nemophila menziesii

This spring, it's in full bloom, and what a pretty sight it is.

Phacelia parryii, with alyssum in the background

Calendulas, sweet alyssum, california poppies, baby blue eyes, lupines and Parry's phacelia tumble down the hill, the honey-like scent of the alyssum perfuming the morning air as the sun warms it.

Lupine

Being able to see this each morning makes it easier to get out of bed. Aren't we all ready for spring?
